RSS, ATOM, and Related Technologies Forum

I'm trying to parse RSS feeds from example.com and for several days can't figure why I get this error DOMDocument::load(): Document is empty. The XML code of the feed doesn't specify the xml version. Hopeless, I even tried using $sxml = simplexml_load_file($feedURL) as with Youtube feeds, but no luck. What is peculiar about the XML from this site is that the first item doesn't have <item> tags around it (all the remaining items have that).

Do you guys know what can be the issue? Any help is appreciated, thanks!
